I am a detail-oriented freelance writer and editor with a strong background in technology and science and with many years of experience in science writing, copyediting, proofreading, and producing communication products. I have 2 years of experience as a freelance editor, working on projects for a private software company and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; 15 years of experience as a senior editor with Los Alamos National Laboratory; and 3 years of proposal development and editing experience with a private engineering firm. My professional goal is to develop effective and strategic professional documents and other information products that support clients in achieving a competitive advantage. I have managed multidisciplinary communication teams that included compositors, designers, writers, editors, web designers, illustrators, and animators. I have authored and co-authored many articles on a wide variety of subjects related to science and technology (see http://www.lanl.gov/pubs/ for a partial list of science articles and other publications). Many of the publications that I have worked on won awards in the Regional and National Society of Technical Communication Publications and Technical Art Competition, including Best of Show, Award of Distinguished Technical Communication, and Excellence in Technical Communication.
